pertinent part:Supporting veterans was only one way that Kyle tried to establish a new identity off the battlefield; it was hard to let go of being a hero. In January, 2010, Kyle later told friends, he was once again put to the test: two men tried to carjack his truck. He was parked at a gas station, southwest of Dallas. “He told the robbers that he just needed to reach back into the truck to get the keys,” Michael J. Mooney wrote in a recent article about Kyle, in D Magazine. Mooney, who had worked on the piece with Kyle’s coöperation, wrote that Kyle “turned around and reached under his winter coat instead, into his waistband. With his right hand, he grabbed his Colt 1911”—a sidearm that is popular with military personnel. “He fired two shots under his left armpit, hitting the first man twice in the chest. Then he turned slightly and fired two more times, hitting the second man twice in the chest. Both men fell dead.”

Police officers arrived at the scene. When they ran Kyle’s license, Mooney wrote, something unusual occurred: “Instead of his name, address, and date of birth, what came up was a phone number at the Department of Defense. At the other end of the line was someone who explained that the police were in the presence of one of the most skilled fighters in U.S. military history.” According to Kyle, security cameras documented the episode.

Like Mooney, I also heard many of Kyle’s friends and associates tell this story. Details varied, but the ending was the same: Kyle drove away without being charged and, as Mooney put it in a related blog post, later received “e-mails from police officers all over the country, thanking him for ‘cleaning up the streets.’ ” Mooney never saw the security tape or found other corroborating evidence, such as police files or a coroner’s report for the dead carjackers. “Consider this story confirmed by the man himself,” he wrote in the blog post, in which he described Kyle as a “true American badass” and a “real-life action hero.”

There is cause to be skeptical. The counties of Erath, Somervell, and Johnson cover the stretch of highway where the incident supposedly happened. Tommy Bryant, the sheriff of Erath County, told me that he could “guar-an-damn-tee it didn’t happen here.” Greg Doyle, the sheriff of Somervell County, said that he had “never heard” the story, which he found “kinda shocking,” and added, “It did not occur here.” Bob Alford, the sheriff of Johnson County, told a local reporter, “If something like that happened here I would have heard of it, and I’m sure you all at the newspaper would have heard of it.” These denials do not automatically disprove the story, of course. And it’s true that certain operatives, from certain government offices and agencies, drive government-registered vehicles whose license plates prompt civilian authorities to contact a call center in the event of an accident or a traffic stop. But a SEAL with extensive experience in special-mission units told me that the notion of such a provision being in place for a former SEAL driving a private vehicle was “bullshit.”

that really is kind of amazing, in light of the jesse ventura thing too. that some legendary killing ass killer like him would go around making up schoolyard type stories really makes him so much crazier than we realize.

Notice they had to give the guy a fake baby doll and give the woman a REAL child.
See! Fucking pathetic, you can't even leave men with a baby, on CAMERA with a bunch of medical teams and security, because you never know what they'll do.
Look at everyone supporting this fake bavery bullshit american "heroes"

The real heroes are the feminist who fight for our rights in the united states, I don't see anything that an american army "Hero" did that was great? What did he do? Murder innocent women and children and crazy men? What do feminist do in the united states? Fight for our rights and make a difference in society.
It doesn't matter if you went to war or suffered for 10 years as a man, that's nothing compared to being a woman #Womenrights

Whenever I hear this PTSD or whatever it's called I laugh and a bunch of feminist agree with me because it's fucking bullshit, shooting a gun and acting like it's sooo fucking bad to shoot a gun seriously?

Yet you men and brainwashed bitches often hate us feminist for laughing at these useless pieces of shit, go ahead laugh at us but just know that we have it harder than them and they need to check their privilege.

Anyone can shoot a gun, anyone can hold a baby but yet men act like it's a big deal to shoot a gun and they are so dangerous they had to give them a doll... a fucking doll.
I rest my case, fuck all you fake bravery/hero defenders, because us feminist are the real heroes not these dumbasses who shed blood.﻿

Well Muslim Arabs (specifically Sunnis) generally ARE vermin, which is why we shouldn't be over there. Let Syria, Iran, Russia and eventually Israel grind them down. Buy oil at legitimate market prices.
